Welcome to the forums, melly83

Give the farm a call and ask them; you only bought them a couple of days ago so that increases the chances they will remember you. Even if they do not remember you precisely, ask them which variety of ducks they breed (that will at least narrow it down).

Curious why she clipped the wing because domesticated fowl aren't bred for flying, quite the opposite

If those are call ducks, they're pet quality at best.... I'm going with a pekin and a mallard. Just my opinion though. If the hen was a rouen, she wouldn't have clipped her wing...same with the pekin....but makes sense for a mallard. Cute nonetheless!

Call Ducks are a exception and are actually very good fliers.

Did you look at the picture in her album? The avatar pic makes the ducks appear a lot bigger than they really are.

Very cute calls, the white is a little long in the bill, but still cute.

a little hard to tell from the avatar photo but the darker of the two looks like a female mallard

CALL DUCKS they are common in the UK and are LOUUUD so you have a white call and a gray call/mini mallard or whatever you want to call it. Have fun with them! i wish i had calls!
